stone which cost $l25, 600 to build, and an op-
era house and a deaf mute college are among
| the Institutions of the place Still, tEis is
nearly 1900 miles from New York and it is a

Kansas City ~.
1t was at Colorado Springs that Helen
Hunt jackson, the writer of some of the most
beautiful things in travel, fiction and verse;
lived, and it was in these FOUNTAINS that she
did some of her best work. She dearly loved
the Rockies, and when she died she directed
that she be buried In one of the loyeliest of
their scenes. Her grave lies ten miles from
here, high up ON the Cheyenne mountain.
Below her are the steep, rugged sides of
Cheyenne canyon, and the Seven Falls max
ing five hundred feet Of fall in seven leaps,
sing perpetual requiem over her grave
The grave itself is III the rocks and mound
of stones covers it. The pines whisper over
1t, and many come to pay their homage to
the dead who wrote so purely, SO sweety and
so we'll -.
Manitou, however, is rather the resort of
the well than the sick. This is the fashion
able watering place west of the Mississippi,
and here the mining mllionaires the stock
raising nabobs and the rich people of Denver
come to spend their summers and their
money. All over the territories and from the
western states they gather here, and among
the people l have seen are young men in
knlckerbockers and wooden stockings from
Australia and London, millionaire from
Missouri. German baron, Senator Teller
and pretty girls from every where. The ma
Jol1ty are, of course, western, and there is
somewhat less conventionality than exists at
an eastern resort. At the dance last night
there were but half a dozen dress suits, and
the tall, fine looking girls did not: as a rule,
wear decolette dresses. They went through
the dances, however, with a will, and there
was more pure enjoyment to the step than in
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1887-08-10

waters. Throw little sugar and lemon
Juice into glass of this water and you have
4 soda water lemonade which froths like the
best glass ever drawn from charged foun-
tain. You can have here soda baths in great
bath houses or can take swim in the big

The air here is wonderfully pure and the
sun shines in Colorado $50 days of the 500.
We are here 5000 feet above the level of the
sea, and Pixies peak above us is over ID, 900
feet higher than Long Branch. This is O
great place for asthmatic patients, and
Colorado is the great resort for consump-
tves. There are thousands of people living
i'll this state because they can't live any
where else, and Colorado Springs, within
five miles Of here, is a city of 1000 people,
which is largely made up of rich people who
have come here for the climate It is q city
of homes situated on a wide plateau in the
midst of valley, and it has all the advan-
tages OF town of the same size in the heart
OF New England-wide streets, good business
blocks and residences costing all the way up
to $4,000 and $4,000. They are built OF
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1887-08-10

SUGGESTS something vague and mystical in
philosophy, and not exactly orthodox in
faith.
Amos Bronson Aicott was born at wolcott
Conn, Nov. %, 1899, and is therefore nearly
lightweight years old. His first venture
from home was as a small peddler in Vir-
gnia; but as he rambled from house to
house he employed more time in reading the
old books he found and gathering out of the
way knowledge, than i'll pushing his wares
and did not succeed very we'll as a peddler.
His next work was a teacher of children in
Connecticut and afterwards at Boston: but
he soon developed such striking method of
making the children teach themselves and
their teacher too" that the parents objected
ana he quit the business He kept a record
of the unusual questions asked and ideas ex-
pressed by the children on religious questions.
and out Of this material complied pecuIiarlv
interesting book, supplemented in 1884 by
Conversations on the Gospels" in the same
style Of question and answer. After a few
years teaching and lecturing on natural the

failed, OF course, and the farm went into tbe
possession Of practical workers; the English.
men went home with considerable experience
and Mr. Alcott, after a short stay in Boston
settled at Concord, where he has since resided
His works, large and small, are very numer
GUS, nearly all Of them bearing on the inter
relation Of soul and body, the Importance of
diet to health, and the possibility of elevating
the moral nature by taking better care of the
physical; the possibility and means of a gem
eral improvement Of society, government and
the human race generally, and deductions
from his experience and observations He is
now incapable of any literary labor and re-
quires careful nursing, but his intellect is
bright and his memory unimpaired. This he at
tributes to his simple diet. He is vegetarian.

Columbus Enquirer Sun: A special from
Alexander City to the Montgomery AdUer-
tiSer says: "Stell Ross, of this place, but
more recently salesman at Pollak & Co.,
Montgomery, happened to the misfortune OF
losing several hundred dollars few days
ago. He was on his way to this place from
Montgomery, and in passing Opelika was
requested by the bank there TO bring along
$500 for a merchant at Camp Hill and a
larger sum for Messrs. r. Herzfeld q Bro,
of this place. There was no one at the
depot at Camp Hill when he passed, so he
brought the money on here-gave Herzfeld
his amount and sent the $500
back to Camp Hill by drummer named j.
Wyman, claiming to represent Frazer &
DoZier, of Columbus. II has come to light
that the money was not left in Camp Hill
by the drummer, nor can any one here be
found who knows such travelling man.
Frazer a. Dozier, of Columbus, were tele-
graphed to, and they replied that they have
no such person employed The bank insti-
tuted suit against Mr.. Ross, and the matter
has been compromised by Mr.. Ross paying
$500. Mr.. Ross holds a receipt from MIR. j.
Wyman." Mr.. Dozier, of the firm of Fra
ger & Dozier, called at our Office last night
and informed us that the firm has not now,
nor has ever had in their employ, a man by
that name. He never heard of Mr.. Wyman
until the telegram was received Wyman
is first-class fraud.
